Professional Car Shipping & Auto Transport Companies in Dover

We have a whole page dedicated to this topic here and we can certainly help you with this. In brief, if you are importing your goods into the UK, you will need a TOR1 form (you will need to obtain this from HMRC before your departure) , proof of your address and that you have owned the goods for over 6 months prior to the movement. This only applies for goods coming from the EU to the UK. If you are leaving the UK, you will need to sign non-cession form and declare your movement to EU customs, which we can do for you. If you fail to do this, you could end up having to pay tax, be fined, and to bring your items back to the UK, so it is worth speaking to us before arranging your move.

All your documentation submitted on your behalf to HMRC will be copied and forwarded to you. If you also require help with the delivery of your goods, we also offer haulage and freight forwarding. Find out more here.

If you have any doubts about your goods, please contact us straight away on 01227 722 247. If you think you may have restricted goods it is always best to check prior to shipment. A great resource is the gov.uk website and have provided a handy link to their restricted goods guidance here.

HMRC may challenge your 0% VAT which could lead to issues and fines.
